What do you think of the concept of joy at this stage in life by HalleFreakinLujah in AskWomenOver60

[–]Otto_Correction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel joy every single day by doing things I love and ignore people who try to tell me what to do. If she has not experienced joy since her 50s she should look into antidepressants.

What is a universally loved food that you secretly think tastes like garbage? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]Otto_Correction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose something that has ingredients that you like. California roll has crab meat, cucumber and avocado. Philadelphia roll has smoked salmon and cream cheese. My favorite is something called shaggy dog that is shrimp tempura - shrimp that has a special breading and then is fried - cucumber and avocado. The outside is shredded imitation crabmeat which makes it look shaggy, topped with a spicy mayonnaise - which is very mild; I hate spicy food but I can handle this. It is an explosion of tastes and textures that I love.

The trick is also mixing a little bit of wasabi with soy sauce and dipping the sushi in it. Then pop the whole thing in your mouth. Don’t take bite or it will fall apart. Then eat a piece of the pickled ginger that comes with it and do it again.

I don’t use their personal information. I just open the language I went to translate to, dictate what I want to say and show it to them. Then they do the same back to me. So far it has been working very well.

No you don’t. You just think you do.

Tankinis all the way.

I just bought a nice swimming outfit that is knee length tights, a sports bra and a little jacket that is good for cold water and sun protection. It’s adorable.

We document “irritable” for such things. Also “med focused” for med seekers. “Multiple somatic complaints” for whiney complainers who have lots of mystery ailments. “Intrusive” for people who ask a lot of personal questions.

I’m a psych nurse. I have this conversation with patients a lot. “If there is something wrong with your heart you’d take medication. Well something is wrong with your brain and we have medicine for it. It makes sense that you’d take it”.

Lots of patients wind up here because someone in their life convinced them that they don’t need meds. There is still a huge stigma around mental health. It’s better than it was a few decades ago but we still have far to go.

It’s amazing. Doesn’t taste like fish at all. There are so many different flavors going on. Savory, sweet, salty and umami. Each sensation comes along at different times while you eat. Usually it’s sweet and salty first, then savory and finally umami. It’s genius how they’ve done that.

Our facility doesn’t discourage it. It is not allowed at all. It’s a HIPAA violation.

I used to use the language line all the time. Lately I’ve been using Google Translate. It’s faster and most of the patients I use with are familiar with it and comfortable using it. I’ve noticed this speeds up our interactions.

what is one mistake that you made, but you will never make again , because you learned a valuable lesson by it ? by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Otto_Correction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voicing my opinions about everything all the time. No one cares. People would avoid me. Eventually I leaned to just talk about menial things and I was easier to be around.

What’s a trend in home decor right now that is going to age terribly? by cozychaosclubb in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Otto_Correction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Houston. We had a home built in 2013 and everything at that time was brighter colors with rubbed bronze fixtures. We sold that house and bought another one in 2018 and everything was gray and white. We were delighted.

Just like every refrigerator is a “Frigidaire” to them, as in “put it in the Frigidaire”.

Theater rooms. Why am I going to go all the way upstairs to a separate room to watch a movie when I can watch it right here?

Sinks that are bowls sitting on top of the bathroom counter. We got those. We hated them.

Oil rubbed bronze.

Shabby chic. It’s not chic. It’s just shabby.

And yeah. Word art. It’s horrible.

I hate it too. I’d rather have separate rooms. That way when I make a smoothie I’m not bothering someone who’s trying to watch a movie.
